Its the brake switch. You will find your brake lights are either stuck on or not working at all.

The C4 must be like the Mk1 C5 (and possibly others). It was too difficult to engineer RHD vehicles with the master cylinder over the driver's feet so they left it in the same position as LHD cars and put a strong bar across from left to right. It's similar in idea to the He-Man dual controls fitted to driving instruction cars.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

Most Right Hand Drive PSA models have the brake switch on the passenger side.
